Can anyone help us with what we need to do next. We have a rental property in Winnipeg, but at present in Saskatoon where my husband is doing his orientation until the 12th June 2006. We have arranged the following:-

Car/Bank Account/Manitoba Health Cards/Sin No./Dog Licence/Vets/Dog Insurance. Arranged for Tv/Wireless Internet/Phone lines to be connected.

We now need to find a Doctor/Dentist/School (14yr old). What do we do about house contents insurance. Are there other things we need to do.

Help please

Hi

Welcome to the forum. I'm not actually in Winnipeg, but Biiiiink or Grah might be able to help with information you need.

Thanks. I am new to this, where do I find Biiiiink or Grah?

Try the member list and contact them directly or wait until they reply - Biiiiink is a moderator on this site, so she's on most days.
Have only been to Winnipeg once (to visit Biiiiink) - nice place, nearest city of any size to where I am (about 5 hours drive from Red Lake).

I can help, You need to call the family doctor connection line, on 1-204-286-7111. they will provide you will details of a doctors clinic that are currently taking patients. It may not be the closest to you though.

which area are you moving to?

also, do you mind me asking who your TV/Internet is with? Shaw offers 1000 free minutes to the UK per month.

River Heights

We were told to go to MTS, who are setting up the TV. Internet and Landline connections!

MapleD covered the rest - now school depends on which area your going to and if you what public or private.

If for instance your renting in my area you could have the choice of 3 schools for a 14 year old.

1 - Maples 3 different programs -
Tec ( hands on mechanics etc)
Normal with subject choices
social or directed ( Group or individual study )

2- Garden city - French immersion & English normal - subject choices

3 Tec-Voc Technical vocation real hands on with some great courses


So which Area is the rented accommodation in?
how did you decide on that area
A: Coz the price was right for now?
B: Area is where you want to live?

When will you arrive as school is out for summer soon and there may not be much education going on.

What sports hobbies does the 14 year old have?

Deadline date for joining soccer teams for instance isn't until August 20th so could give 14yo and you a chance to meet and make new friends, find out lots of local info. re-schools, shops hanging out spots etc

Hi - We will be living in the River Heights area. I have e-mailed Grant Park School, but have had no reply as yet. My 14yr old is a girl and into Drama, Arts, Reading, Computers, Swimming and interested in learning Ice Skating/Figure Skating and Ballroom dancing

so have you been to Manitoba theater for young people at the forks?

Do email turn up at the office Monday and she'll probably start Tuesday
Thats what happen for us, in St vital.

River Heights is good for Pan Am pool as well. So any swimming clubs you could join?
